[~vinothchandar] makes sense
1. Lets define external.connectors.loader= property that we will use to load the external
jars into sqoop
#option 1:
2. read this property during the tomcat startup and add them to to the WEB-INF/lib folder
( like a manual copy)
if we see in the below code ( https://github.com/apache/sqoop/blob/sqoop2/tomcat/src/main/java/org/apache/sqoop/tomcat/TomcatToolRunner.java#L70),
all the jars in the WEBINF/lib and WEBINF/classes are put and class loader created for sqoop
{code}
ClassLoader loader = ClassLoaderFactory.createClassLoader(unpacked, packed, Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader());
Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader(loader);
{code}
So the external jars will also be in this path and they will get loaded in the ConnectorManagerUtils
code in the server intiialize.
Option#2
Do not copy these jars to the WEB-INF/lib path, but instead load them via URL class loader
before the ConnectorManagerUtils code is called.

> Edit this wiki to begin with
> https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SQOOP/Setting+up+Sqoop+2#SettingupSqoop2-InstallinganewconnectortoSqoop2
> Also, add the same to the .rst of need be
> relevant code that loads all connectors
> https://github.com/apache/sqoop/blob/sqoop2/core/src/main/java/org/apache/sqoop/connector/ConnectorManagerUtils.java#L44
> NOTE : External contributors had issues with getting a new sqoop connector working seamlessly
with the Sqoop2. They had to do some hacks to include this new jar into the class path.
